Epic has officially unveiled Fortnite's Power Rangers crossover with a live-action tokusatsu trailer that I can only describe as absolutely morphenomenal. Soon after the trailer went live, however, hardcore Power Rangers fans quickly noted that this thing goes beyond simply being a stylistic tribute to the original show – it appears to have even been filmed at one of the iconic locations from the original series.
The trailer starts by introducing an insect invasion in Fortnite's familiar CG style. But then, the Power Rangers appear, the screen goes 4:3, and we cut to live-action footage of stunt actors in bulky suits battling in ridiculous, stylized fight scenes. It's a perfect tribute to the '90s camp of the original series – especially once the Megazord appears – but that rocky desert where it all takes place might look extra familiar to fans.
